The next day we drove down into the Ngorongoro Crater. A 6 am get up start meant a misty pea soup foggy drive down into the crater some 700 m below from where we were camping overnight on the crater's rim. It was cold overnight being so high. We were warned so no complaints from this quarter!

Yes, I started the morning wearing my beanie, 2 layers of merino and 2 jackets but quickly took off layer at a time as the sun rose.

I certainly preferred the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater but both were marvellous places to see the animals in their natural environment. Visiting a zoo again no matter how good it is will not be the same again.
